Toray Lidding Film Can Take High Temps

Published: April 24, 2014

NORTH KINGSTOWN, RI | Toray Plastics (America) recently expanded LumiLid brand of FDA-compliant, dual-ovenable polyester lidding films has been enhanced. All LumiLid films are now FDA-compliant for use with oven temperatures of up to 400 deg F for 30 minutes. Company says end-users and converters can confidently choose Toray’s value-added clear, white, or metallized LumiLid films for lidded refrigerated and frozen side dishes and entrees that require high heat for cooking or reheating. 

“An FDA-compliant lidding film rated for performance under severe heat is a game-changer,” says Milan Moscaritolo, senior director of sales, Toray Plastics (America) “End-users now have more options for product design and greater latitude in how they deliver their product to consumers.”

Company says LumiLid brand films incorporate specialty performance film and sealant layers that provide excellent oxygen barrier, have a low seal initiation temperature (SIT), and offer an environmentally friendly, solvent-free formulation that assures manufacturers that their customers will experience a pure, fresh food flavor. Films reportedly supply a clean, secure seal, even on pleated corners, to APET, APET-coated board, CPET, PP, HDPE, and HIPS trays. In addition, LumiLid lidding films are printable and can be used to deliver a brand message.
